It’s good to see concern for the animals suffering and dying as a result of the tragic events in Australia currently taking place, with bushfires raging across the country.
But aren’t there some other species of animal that humans are forgetting? Animals who were being killed in huge number LONG before this event ever took place?
It’s rather strange when a holocaust is taking place, that those complicit in it would choose to ignore the very thing they are taking part in and instead show concern for something that they are far more powerless to do something about.
EVERY WEEK, around 2 billion land animals are murdered in the world’s longest running and most environmentally destructive massacre, with countless marine animals murdered in the process as well.
Animal agriculture is the elephant in the room that our Carnist society chooses to ignore.
So where is the sympathy for the cows, turkeys, salmon, and goats? The pigs, chickens, sheep and tuna? Are their lives worth LESS than those of the koalas and the kangaroos? Do they not matter? Can they not suffer too?
A pig doesn’t want to be in a gas chamber any more than a koala wants to be in a burning tree. Will you be consistent and end your complicity in this? Or will you turn a blind eye to the very suffering you are responsible for and focus only on the events deemed “newsworthy”?
And I mean…Today and here it’s not just about the animals that are burned in Australia and whether they are more or less victims than other animals.
They are, so to speak, the collateral damage of a criminal system that, like everywhere else, serves the meat consumption in Australia.
After all, the genocide in Australia is only the tragic consequence (among other things) of extensive animal husbandry. Like all over the world.
The message from Australia is: either we are radically changing our current lifestyle, or the whole box is falling into the abyss.
As long as the climate played along, no one thought about the effects of factory farming on the climate catastrophes of this planet.
And now Global warming is at every door, Australia is just the most tragic example.
But although in Australia (almost) everyone has experienced it in their own bodies, we see that even in biblical catastrophes people have learned nothing: Instead of rethinking and reducing the number of animals bred, farmers and hunters shoot wild animals such as kangaroos and camels, so that water and feed for the “useful” animals are not scarce!!
As soon as the fires are over, everyone returns to their everyday life and consoles themselves with their favorite saying: “That happens everywhere, there are also climate changes…”
Unfortunately, this is the most tragic message from this story: Disabled, mendacious, opportunistic, exploitative … that’s what we humans are and stay before, like after biblical catastrophes!

In comparison to the ability of animals to generate and express feelings, we humans are emotional illiterates
My best regards and have a good night, Venus

As The Australian reports, 10,000 camels will be shot over five days from Wednesday. This will happen in the local administrative area of Anangu Pitjantjatjara Yankunytjatjara (APY), an Aboriginal community in the state of South Australia. The area is two and a half times the size of Switzerland, but only around 2500 people live in the area.
The order to fire was given because the camels are increasingly ruthlessly entering residential areas in search of water during the continuing drought.
“The camels come to our village, tear down fences and look for water in the air conditioning systems in the houses,” Marita Baker, an APY resident, told The Australian.
That’s why the camels have to die now.
The Ministry of Environment and Water will go camel hunting by helicopter.
The carcasses are burned or buried and left behind in remote areas.
Camels as scapegoats
However, the aggressive behavior of the animals is not the only reason to minimize their number. Another factor is the enormous CO2 emissions of the desert animals. A ton of carbon dioxide is said to produce and emit a single camel in a year.
“One million camels are the equivalent of 400,000 additional cars on the road.”
Is that correct?
The US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) assumes that a camel has about one sixth of a car’s CO2 emissions.
The total emissions from these animals would still correspond to around 200,000 vehicles, since an estimated 1.2 million wild camels live in Australia.
The animals were brought by the English colonist into the country more than 150 years ago imported from India and Afghanistan as a means of transport for the desert.
With the invention of the car, they became redundant and left in their fate- and now have developed into a veritable nuisance (!!!). They would also drink the few waterholes empty.
An additional incentive for the campaign against the camels is, according to the Spiegel report, the fact that Australia urgently needs emission certificates. The country has one of the highest air pollution levels per capita in the world because of its large mining industry.
The country currently ranks third last in the climate protection index of the environmental organization Germanwatch. “Only Kazakhstan and Saudi Arabia are doing even less against global warming.”
My comment: I see that the camels have to be shot down (partly) because of the greenhouse gases they emit (although ruminant emissions are part of the natural carbon cycle).
In contrast, it appears to be environmentally friendly for Australia to burn huge tons of coal in China every year, causing millions of times more climate damage than all the camels on the planet.
That`s another clever Australian move – Sheep, cattle, dogs, coalas, kangaroos, birds, etc – they all need water too. But they murder kangaroos, because they eat the sheep’s grass! Why not shoot all animals ?
Thanks to Indians and Afghans who helped colonize the continent, camels are now an invasive species – what a shitty thought…
Couldn’t Scott Morrison be seen as an invasive species?
Australia is a screwed up country! If Australia’s attitude to climate protection does not change, all of Australia will soon be made up of coal.
Best regards to all, Venus

Every summer, in the drought and hot season, there are more fires in Australia
But never one like this Dante hell.
An area about the size of Austria has turned into ashes.
The flames continue to swallow animals, nature, houses, people.
The air stinks of burnt meat.
Australia is among the top ten polluters on the planet. The consequences of a policy that has destroyed the country are now getting.
However, the deadly effects of this policy do not hit the main culprits.
As always, they meet the innocent.
The animals.
Sidney University estimates that 480 million mammals, birds, reptiles … are burned alive.
According to the university, many Australian animal species have been eradicated.
But the prognoses are even darker, because the final count can affect up to 1 trillion animal losses due to starvation of the survivors.
The voters, the supporters and the Government followers are complicit.
As Prime Minister, they have chosen a climate denier and a passionate supporter of the coal industry!
There is no such thing as “innocence” in politics; wrong political decisions are paid dearly, at the latest now the Australians should feel it.
The elected conservative government has pursued a miserable policy.
It introduced drastic austerity measures, drastically reduced contributions to social security, which above all meant misery and distress for the fire brigade because the firefighters used beggars and donations to provide their equipment and work clothes themselves.
At the same time, the Morrison government has given free rein to multinationals interested in theft and exploitation of nature.
While the country was turning to ashes, Morrison was on vacation in Miami, and instead of discussing the situation with fire chief Greg Mullins, he posed with the cricket team in front of the House of Parliament because something like that sells best to voters.
The sky in New South Wales has disappeared, say the locals. A dome with sick, yellowish nicotine color hangs over their head, which at dusk takes on the color of the blood.
The worst thing is that we have learned nothing from this biblical catastrophe, and nothing is being done until today about the destruction of the earth.
We distribute photos, comments, videos and suffer from collective self-pity. That’s all!
Human being is the only animal on the planet that learns nothing from its mistake.
And the biggest mistake we make is believing that only Australia has to learn from this devastating environmental disaster.
Our “ethics”, which puts ourselves above everything, runs against the wall.
My best regards to all, Venus

WAV Comment – Kent is our home county; and we want to send our special thanks to the firefighting guys for their work in saving this little fox. The firefighters often do such a great job now in saving animals in distress – hats off to them !
Rescue workers save fox with 40 minutes of CPR after finding it trapped in water
Firefighters spent nearly 40 minutes bringing a fox back from the brink of death after it nearly drowned.
Crews were called after the animal was found trapped in an old water tank on Tuesday.
After pulling him out of the cold water firefighters bypassed advice to have the animal put down and instead performed CPR and used animal oxygen masks to bring him back to life.

Sharing the full story, not just the headlines
Lorraine March from Kent Wildlife Rescue Service was at the scene, in Chatham, Kent.
She said: “We have no idea how long the fox was in there for but it was slowly drowning.
“The work the firefighters did was amazing, they spent 40 minutes working on it.
“They called the RSPCA who said they were available but suggested the crew took it to the nearest vet to have it put down.
“They got hold of us instead and one of our volunteers was there inside 20 minutes.”
